Red · Medium · Dry
Tuscany's everyday red, made from Sangiovese — cherry, leather, and a brisk acidity that makes tomato-based dishes sing. The Classico designation marks the historic heartland and a step up in quality.
Why it works with Pizza With Pesto, Linguica, And Artichokes
Chianti and pizza is the eternal Italian pairing.
Red · Light · Off-dry
Italy's pizza wine — slightly sparkling, slightly off-dry, low alcohol, and built to cut through sausage and cheese. The good Emilia-Romagna versions are dry and seriously good.
Why it works with Pizza With Pesto, Linguica, And Artichokes
Sparkling red Lambrusco is the regional pizza pour from Emilia-Romagna.
Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.
Why it works with Pizza With Pesto, Linguica, And Artichokes
Dry rosé refreshes between bites and works with varied toppings.
Red · Medium · Dry
The soul of Tuscany — bright red cherry, dried herbs, and a savory line of acidity that craves tomato sauce. Chianti is the everyday face; Brunello is its serious cousin.
